I want a curry tree!! Why are you growing everything in pouches? Do you move things inside or to a greenhouse during the winter?

Root pouches have several benefits. It promotes better soil aeration and draining, although the disadvantage is it would dry faster.
The second benefit is what we call air-pruning. As the plants roots reaches the edges they will be in contact with more air and will stop growing instead of going round and round inside the pot and creating root bound. You can grow larger plants in pouches smaller than plastic pots.

We have so little rain that my strategy is growing in the ground with lots of mulch - or wicking beds...
